Argentine Customs previously announced a new Resolution Nbr: 2744/2009 requiring additional data
to be provided on the Bill of Lading and customs manifest. Please note that this new
Argentinian Custom Resolution started enforcement effective on 08/23/2010 for the 11 digit
Taxpayer Identification Number and 09/03/2010 for the 6 digit Harmonized Tariff Code (HTS) or
Harmonized System Code of Mercosur (NCM). The Resolution has recently clarified the
requirements for the 6 digit HTS/NCM code. Please note that for bills that declare 2 or
more HTS/NCM codes the highest value code must clearly be indicated. To comply with this
requirement "K" Line will begin indicating the highest value code within the
Description of Goods in the body of the bill of lading.

The requirements are as follows:

The 11 digit Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (C.U.I.T.) must be provided for the

not required.
